Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 26, 1916.

Application led February 15, 1915. Serial No. 8,126.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY A. Jos'r, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cue-Tips, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to detachable tips for billiard cues, and has for its object to provide a simple and eilicient structural formation and association of parts, whereby said parts are connected in a secure and substantial manner when assembled, and are capable of ready disassemblage for the replacement of a worn or defective part, all as will hereinafter more fully appear.

ln the accompanying drawings Figure l is a perspective view of the cue tip` parts in a detached condition. Fig; 2, is a central longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cue tip parts in an assembledV a cylindrical aXial socket 4 in the head 3 adapted to receive said stud or dowel and have a driving fit therewith. The separate attaching head 3 is intended to ailord a more substantial and durable means of attachment for the present detachable tip, than would be Y aorded by the wood of a billiard cue stock.

5 designates a cylindrical axial stud arranged at the end of the attaching head 3 opposite to the socket 4:, aforesaid.

G designates the carrying` ring or annulus for the leather cue-tip V7. Said annulus is formed of vulcanized liber or the like and its cylindrical bore 8 is adapted to have a drive t with thel aXial Vstud 5 of the attaching head 3, aforesaid.

9 designates a thin annular metal band or thimble, the lower portion of which is permanently embedded in the annulus 6, aforesaid, while its upper portion is formed with a taper edge adapting the same to be driven into the material of the leather tip 7 to secure the described parts together in a secure and substantial manner. Y f y Having thus fully described my said invention whatl claim as new and desire to secure byVLe-tters Patent is A separable tip for billiard cues, comprising a leather tip portion, acarrying annulus,

an annular thimble partly embedded in said annulus and having an annular portion projecting from said carrying annulus, said annular projecting portion having a tapering form in Vcross-section adapting it for driving engagement inthe tip portion, and an attaching head secured to the cue-stock and having a central stud adapted for'engagement in the bore of the carrying annulus, substantially as set forth.

Signed at Chicago, Illinois, this 18th day Y of February, 1915.
